The hero in Batman Begins is Bruce Wayne. He watched his parents get shot to death at age 8, and inherited their big fortune. He chose to avenge his parent’s death by fighting crime in Gotham after he was not able to kill his parent’s murderer. Bruce chooses the bat as his symbol since that was what he was most afraid of.
